Unit 1: How to use key historical skills
Date: W/B September 30th 2013
This week in Year 7 History classes we are learning how to use some key Historical skills such as source analysis and interpretation in order to complete an investigation on the body of a man found in a peat bog in Denmark. He is known as the Tollund Man.
This body was found in a peat bog on Tollund Fen
in Denmark in May 1950. Two men were digging
peat for burning. As they worked they suddenly
saw in the peat layer a face so fresh they thought
they had come across a recent murder
They called the police. The men carefully removed
the peat from the body till more of him could be
seen. The man lay on his right side as if he was
asleep. He wore no clothes, except for a pointed
skin cap and a smooth hide belt. His hair was cut
short. Round the neck was a rope noose and an
iron neck ring. It was drawn tight around his neck
and throat.
